"which has hosted the Olympics and has a current population < 15 million"

Finland is missing (Summer Olympics Helsinki 1952)

+17

Level 82

Nov 21, 2023

Should Bosnia count for the Olympics one as Sarajevo hosted in 1984, or no because it was still part of Yugoslavia at the time?

Level 89

Nov 21, 2023

Shouldn't Bosnia and Herzegovina be included since it hosted the winter Olympics in 1984 and it's population fits the criteria? Or was it omitted because it was part of Yugoslavia back then?

Level 83

Nov 21, 2023

By usual JetPunk practice it should count

Level 71

May 7, 2024

Agreed. Either Bosnia should count or there should be a caveat that the modern day country had to host the Olympics.

Tripartite Pact the second least guessed answer?

Level 60

Australia has Norfolk Island

Fiji has the Lau Island group parts of which were ruled by Tonga

Kiribati is in Micronesia

The anomaly is the UK which definitely has territory in Polynesia. Although Pitcairn was uninhabited when the Bounty mutineers arrived it is within the geographic boundary of Polynesia and there is archaeological evidence of previous settlement by Polynesians

Level 41

May 6, 2024

I feel like „larger than Switzerland“ should be specified as „larger area.“

Level 72

May 6, 2024

What did you think it was, larger average IQ, chocolate production, army, number of letters in the word?

Level 71

May 7, 2024

I would generally agree, as the answers could be different depending on whether you're talking about area or population. However, in this case, these three are the only three with a larger area, and there aren't any with a larger population than Switzerland.

shouldn't Liberia count for the US Independence question?

Level 53

May 6, 2024

No, Liberia was never a territory of the United States.

Bosnia & Herzegovina is missing. The 1984 Winter Olympics was hosted in Sarajevo.

Level 75

May 10, 2024

Technically, the Olympics were hosted by Yugoslavia, but I see what you are saying and changes are pending to make Bosnia a type-in.

Level 57

May 11, 2024

Could be just different sources but at least on Wikipedia it says that the highest point of Saint Lucia is the summit of Mount Gimie, which is only 950 m tall.

Level 70

Aug 15, 2024

This is absolutely correct, St. Lucia should count among the American nations with max. elevation < 1000m
